ATLANTA (May 2, 2025) – U.S. Soccer has announced the hiring of Vicky Jepson as full-time head coach of the U.S. Under-20 Women’s National Team.
Jepson’s hire is subject to the completion of her visa and work permit process.
Vicky comes to U.S. Soccer from Tottenham Hotspur in England’s Women’s Super League, where she served as first team senior assistant head coach since 2021. In March of 2023, she served as the interim head coach for the remainder of the 2022/23 campaign, leading the squad to secure its position to remain in the Women’s Super League, and since then has served as the top assistant through the 2023/24 and 2024/25 seasons.
“We are thrilled to welcome Vicky Jepson to our Youth National Team staff,” said Tracey Kevins, the U.S. Soccer Head of Development for the Women’s and Girls’ YNTs. “Vicky brings a wealth of experience, tactical knowledge and a proven track record of developing talent for the highest levels. Her leadership will be instrumental in driving our U-20 program, which serves as a crucial step in our National Team pathway.”
During Jepson’s time in North London, Spurs reached their first-ever FA Cup Final and Jepson earned her UEFA Pro License in June of 2024, becoming one of 17 female coaches to have completed the course with the England Football Association. In addition to her Pro License, Jepson holds UEFA “A” License and has worked across the full spectrum of the elite talent pathway, from U-11s to the senior professional level.
“It’s hard leaving Tottenham Hotspur after four memorable years at the club, but I’m moving on to work for the most progressive organization in the world for women’s football,” added Jepson. “Working alongside the incredible leadership of Tracey, (U.S. Soccer Sporting Director) Matt Crocker and of course a serial winner in Emma Hayes is an amazing opportunity. I can’t wait to get started.”
